Writing W2 T3 - Persuasive writing

 This week for writing our task was to write a 3 paragraph persuasive text on a quote and whether we were for or against it. I chose to do, "Happiness is a choice." Here is my work:

Happiness is a choice

Paragraph 1:

I agree with this statement because I truly believe that everyone has the choice to be happy. Everyone has to contribute to their happiness and have the will to be happy. Being happy is more than just receiving gifts and getting what you want, being happy is choosing to keep going, not letting the negative comments get to you and pushing yourself through to be the best person you can be. 

Paragraph 2:

Happy people are not held back by negative emotions or situations, happy people choose to look past those things and realise that they are more than what others think. Since happiness is a choice which means you need to learn how to choose it. The first step is deciding to control your feelings. You must be determined to control your actions regardless of how you feel. You might not feel happy, but you need to stop dwelling on it

Paragraph 3:

Self love is one of the most important steps to being happy. Our image of ourselves has a great impact on our happiness. Doing self love exercises can help a lot with learning to love yourself. As John Spence once said, “Be happy. Be yourself. If others don’t like it, let them be. Happiness is a choice. Life isn’t about pleasing everybody.”

Do you think happiness is a choice?

Emotional Literacy

 This term our PBL is focused on happiness. For one of the tasks we have been learning about emotional literacy which is made up of your ability to understand your emotions, the ability to listen to others and empathise with their emotions, and the ability to express emotions productively. One of the tasks we had to do was get into groups of 3-4 then we got given a bunch of different emotions and had to put them into groups of high energy, low energy, unpleasant and pleasant. For example drained would be low energy and unpleasant. Lastly we had to fill in a poster talking about when we feel happy, sad ect and how we can stay happy or sad ect. Here is my work-

What makes you happy and what can you do to stay happy?
